While the full extent of the issue of medical sexual abuse is unknown, recent research based on data self-reported by physicians indicates that the problem occurs at a relatively high rate. One of the main factors allowing the issue to persist is the fact that the majority of sexual misconduct in clinical settings goes unreported - and the latest announcement by Michael Haggard hopes to bring awareness of the importance of reporting sexual abuse immediately.
“Victims of doctor sexual abuse should report the crime as soon as possible by contacting the Florida Department of Health's Medical Quality Assurance Division or filing a complaint with the state's medical board,” explains Michael. “They may also file a police report, seek medical attention, and consult with a Florida personal injury attorney who specializes in cases involving doctor sexual abuse.”
As part of the Abuse Guardian network of experience sexual abuse attorney, Michael is ideally placed to provide high-quality representation for victims of medical sexual misconduct. He will assist victims in collecting all evidence to support their claim, and identifying and bringing to justice all responsible parties.
Michael explains that determining liability in such cases isn’t straightforward, since both doctors and the medical institutions employing them may be liable. Doctors working as independent contractors for hospitals or healthcare facilities, however, may be held personally liable for their actions, without any additional implications for the institution.
Working with an experienced attorney is essential to help survivors make the best legal decisions - and ensure they get full compensation for their medical care, therapy, pain and suffering, and lost wages, if applicable.
Michael Haggard offers free consultations to help victims take their next steps and ensure that justice is served.
